Overthinking: Why Smart Women Get Stuck (and How to Break Free)

Discover why your brain gets caught in overthinking—and learn simple, science-backed strategies to quiet the mental chatter and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Have you ever replayed a conversation long after it ended, second-guessed a decision, or found yourself lying awake while your mind refuses to turn off? If so, you're not alone. Overthinking isn't a sign that you're weak or incapable—it's often your brain trying to protect you.

Join Counseling Psychologist and Executive Coach Dr. Bonnie Wims for an insightful session exploring the neuroscience behind overthinking and why our minds get stuck in unhelpful thought loops. You'll learn the difference between healthy reflection and rumination, discover why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to overthinking, and leave with practical, evidence-based strategies to quiet mental chatter, make decisions with greater confidence, and reclaim your peace of mind.

This event is open to ALL!

C-Sweet Members Free. Non-Members - $25.

C-Sweet SoCal/OC Event | The Woman Behind the Title (18 Nov 2026)

Thu, 19 Nov 2026 01:30:00 GMT

C-Sweet SoCal/OC Chapter

The Woman Behind the Title

A Conversation on Women's Health, Wellness & Longevity

Wednesday, November 18th

05:30 - 07:30 PM PT

Make-A-Wish® Orange County & the Inland Empire

7515 Irvine Center Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618

As women leaders, we spend a lot of time thinking about what our career, businesses, teams and families need from us.

But how often do we stop and ask... What do I need?

Join OC/SoCal C-Sweet for a candid conversation about the woman behind the title and what it looks like to prioritize our health and well-being while continuing to lead full, ambitious lives.

Our panel will bring together experts across women's health, wellness, longevity, healthy living and communication to explore the bigger picture of living well, now and in the future.

Together, we'll talk about caring for our bodies as we move through different stages of life, making everyday choices that support our health, staying connected to relationships and interests outside of work, navigating caregiving and aging, and becoming better advocates for what we need.

Because our success isn't only about what we accomplish, it's also about creating the health, relationships and quality of life that allow us to enjoy what we've worked so hard to build.

Hosted at Make-A-Wish in Irvine, we'll also get an inside look at the incredible work they do for children and families and have an opportunity to support their mission.

Bring a Backpack

We're asking each guest to bring a new backpack to donate to Make-A-Wish. Their team will fill the backpacks with goodies and essentials for children heading out on their wish trips.

Pick something fun, colorful or special that you'd be excited to give a child heading off on an unforgettable adventure.

You'll walk away with:

A broader perspective on what it means to live and lead well at every stage of life.
Practical ideas for making your health and well-being a greater priority.
New ways to think about longevity, healthy living, connection and the life you're creating beyond your career.
Greater confidence to recognize, communicate and advocate for what you need.
Inspiration to make intentional choices today that support the life you want in the years ahead.

C-Sweet Members: $25. Non-Members: $49

50% of ticket proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish

The Space Between Who You Were and Who You're Becoming

A year-end reflection on growth, identity, and stepping into the next chapter with intention.
